About Wicked

Wicked takes us back to Oz, years before Dorothy dropped in. Based on the acclaimed Broadway musical (and the Gregory Maguire novel), this prequel explores the untold story of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, the Good Witch. Their intertwined destinies unfold in a tale of friendship, rivalry, and self-discovery.

The cast includes

• Cynthia Erivo shines as Elphaba, the misunderstood green-skinned protagonist.
• Ariana Grande dazzles as Glinda, bringing her charm to the beloved Good Witch.
• The cast also features Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, and Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero.

Wicked premiered in theaters on November 22, 2024, breaking records as the largest opening for a Broadway adaptation with $163 million in its first weekend. It surpassed previous hits like Les Misérables.

Despite its streaming debut, Wicked continues to enchant audiences in theaters, expected to stay on the big screen through January 2025. Awards season buzz and upcoming Oscar nominations make it a film to watch.

While no date has been confirmed, past releases like Twisters suggest it might arrive around March 2025.

The journey doesn’t end here! Wicked is being released in two parts. The second installment, Wicked: For Good, will cover Act Two of the musical and is set to hit theaters on November 21, 2025.

With Oscar nominations set for January 17, 2025, Wicked could snag several nods, especially in categories like Best Actress, Best Original Song, and Best Costume Design.

Starting today, Wicked is available on various OTT platforms for digital purchase. You can stream the movie on:

• Amazon Prime Video
• Apple TV
• YouTube
• Fandango at Home
• Comcast Xfinity
• Microsoft Movies & TV

If streaming isn’t your style, mark your calendar for February 4, 2025, when Wicked becomes available on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K UHD.

Fans and critics alike have praised the movie for its stunning visuals, heartfelt performances, and powerful soundtrack. Whether you’re a Broadway buff or new to the story, Wicked is an unforgettable experience.

From Broadway to Hollywood, Wicked has redefined how prequels can captivate audiences. Its universal themes of identity, acceptance, and courage resonate with viewers of all ages.
